Answer

Brief Explanations:

An adverbial phrase modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb. "quickly but cautiously" modifies the verb "took off", "from an overnight rain" modifies the adjective "slick", "around the track" modifies the verb "sped". "over the surface" is a pre - positional phrase but not an adverbial phrase in this context as it doesn't modify a verb, adjective or adverb in the relevant sense here, and "warm and shining" is an adjective phrase modifying "sun".

Answer:

A. quickly but cautiously B. from an overnight rain E. around the track
